—A letter, dated Jan. C, 1883, from the Rev.
A. V. Scout, pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
at Kdgufton, Kansce, to llcbert Stewart and
wife, of Brownsdale, this county, conveyed to
them the iad intelligence that tiiair son, G. W.
Stewart,had been aim >st instantly killed the pre
vious day. He was tiEsisticg a neighbor to cut
down some large shade trees, and was trying by
the u?e of props to throw a tree in the opposite di"
rectiou from which it leaned, when it suddenly
fell and struck liiiu on the head, rendering
hiin unconscious and causingdeath a few hours
afterwards. He was an excellent young man,
and his sudden death was a severe stroke to
his family aud friends, aud also to the cimmu'
nity.
—While the jail-hill was coated with ice
last week, the boys eujoyed coasting down it.
The hi!! is very steep, and startingon their sleds
near the Court House,they would get enough mo
liienium going down it, to send them across the
bridge and quite a distance over on the flat.
There is no sport more dear to the heart of the
boy than coasting. Even skating gives place
to it in his regard. The exhilarating charm
of a ride down the flank of a hill, smoothly
coated with snow or ice, at express-train speed,
is enough to make almost any schoolboy be
come a truant. It is, however, attended in
some cases with great danger to life and. limb,
especially when the coasting gound is very
steep. Every winter we have to record the
death or maiming of careless coasters, and, in
some cases, of persons who have unluckily
got in the way of the flying sleds.
—Says the Franklin Press: "Our exchanges
are giving publicity to an item which says,
'This year will be a peeuliar one iu some re

will probably not be married before the year
A. 1). 2000." If this be true it is sad news
for 'the girl !>orii this year.' Think of waitin# |
II- years for a husband, with a probability |
that, as usual with her sex, she will get a poor ;
excuse of a fellow after all. Long ere the wi!d j
bells shall have rung out old 1999, 'the girl j
born this year' will feel like the western belle |
who had held her position like a statue among
the wall-flowers at a dance, until long after
midnight. At length an eastern exquisite
timidly ventured to inquire if he might have
the happiness to lead her in the next daucc
'You just bet you can, cully,•' she replied;

—A correspondent of a Pittsburgh paper
writing from New Castle, says that lately a
young lady of that town, the only daughter
of a widow, was married to one of three men to
whom she was eugaged, and as she jparried the
cne her mother disliked the most, there was
weeping, wailing and gnashWg of teeth on the
part of the aforesaid mother. One of the
men to whom the young woman was engaged
to be married, was a farmer aud lived in Hut.
■ ler county. The other two lived near New
Cattle. To avoid marying the one whom her
I mother wished her to marry, she wrote a letter
! to the Butler county farmer, telling him that
'she would marry lmn on Tuesday. In the
: maan time her mother made things so lively
for her that f-l.e marritd the New Castle man to
whom her mother objected. Their marriage took
plaee on Friday. When Tuesday arrived Rud the
Uuiler farmer appeared ready to be wicfificed
on the alter of matrimony, he found the fair
object of his affections the wife of another. To
say that he was greatly astonished expresses
| the fact very mildly. Indeed, language is in
j adequate to express the disappointed feelings

—Since the Milwaukee fire, the authorities
ol'Philadelphia have seen that all the large

These escapes generally consist of iron ladders

of the Fire Department could, in case of fire,
be raised. There are several lofty hotels in
Pittsburgh which should be provided with the
same kiud of escapes.

In case there should be no Secretary of State,

vacancy otherwise lawfully tilled. The order
of succession is as follows: Secretary, of
State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of
War, Attorney General, Postmaster General,

—The last report of th e Census Bureau con
tains some statistics which even the women
Will find far from dry. It appears that the
figures showing the amount of money spent
for clothing for men and women last year
are, respectively: For men, $498,000,000; for
women, 317,0u0,000. It thus seems that the
proverbially extravagant manner of referring
to the dress of woman is ni'ju.st and illogical.
The claim will be made that nun are obliged
to exceed their own notions of necessity for
the sake of women; but perhaps this is an ar
gument with two handles. '1 he truth seems
to lie in the theory that the great mass of
evcry-day workingmen dress with less regard to
expense than do every-day workingwomeu.
—With more than forty million barrels of
crude petroleum above ground, as claimed by
the Standard Company, and the production al
most keeping i>ace with the consumption, op
erations in the oil regicu are not what they
used to be. The object is the same as in early
days of Oildorn—to get rich, or, having got
rich, to get richer; but the methods are entire
ly different. Taking oil from the earth and
selling it at the market price is regarded as
a slow way of making money nowadays.
Speculation has became the rage. Almost
everybody in the oil regi.'n is a bull or a bear.
There are speculators whose efforts are in part
directed toward influencing the market so that
they may take advantage of it: but the great
majority are simply trying to "catch on" at
the right time, and to let go when the most
favorable moment arrives.
Tyrolese Wedding at Pardoe.
A larga circle of friends assembled on Tues
day the 11 Inst, at the Roman Catholic chapel
at Pardoe to witness the marriage ceremony of
Mr. Sebastian Stein! igner. a native of Tyrol,
Austria, and Miss also a native of that
country. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Father Mclntee, of Sharpsville, in a
soleain and impressive maimer, in German,
English and Latin. After the ceremony the
invited guests to number of nearly one hun
dred repaired to the house of Mr. Steinligner's
father, where the bridal couple received the
heartfelt congratulations of all their numerous
friends. An elegant repast, consisting mainly
of the national diohes of Tyrol, accompanied by
a large supply ot the "Old Fatherland bever
aj;e," was spread and partaken of freely by
all present, after which the rooms were cleared
and a regular old fashioned, genuine German- j
Austrian dance was started, which lasted un-j
til the next morning.
The newly married couple had been attached |
to each other in their old home before he left .
Tyrol to seek his fortune in the New World, j
Although separated they were faithful to each
other through the weary years of waiting until
he was able to have a comfortable home pro
vided for her. About two uuqtUs ago he sent

A more pleasant surprise than we enjoyed cn
the evening of the loth, we cannot well im
magine.
A number of our friends of all the churches
and others in town and country conceived the
project of paying us a visit which they carried
out on the evening as above stated, in a most
admirable manner. They came, old and young,
male and female and took complete possession
ofourdomicil up stairs and down; nor were
we the least offended at it even though the
whole affair was arranged without our knowl
edge.
The company was large and lively, kind and
considerate, peaceful and plentiful. They en
joyed theni.ie ves; we were passive, but enjoyed
ourselves, and after a general good time they
departed as peaceably—but not laden as they
came—for they left a purse well filled, a large
quantity of the good things of this life which
we shall certainly enjoy and for all of which
we shall never cease to be grateful to all who
were present and to all who contributed who
were not pre.-ent.
Rev. Marshall made a neat, humorous pre
sentation speech, seconded by Rev. Bean, and
we replied—well, who knows what he replies
on such o casions—but we know that we are
truly thankful, all the same.

The Circus Fire.
ST. PET ER.SU into, Jan. 15, 1883.
Tbe loss of life by tbe burning 1 of the
circus in Berditscbefl' on Saturday last
was not so great as at first reported,
but is believed that over one hundred
and fifty persons perished in the flames.
The fire broke out toward the end of
the performance and was caused by the
careless handling of fireworks on the
stage. The curtain became ignited
and the flames quickly spread to the
walls and roof. The members of the
orchestra were the first victims. The
audience, numbering eight hundred
persons, rushed to the front door, but !
it opened inward and as the crowd j
pressed forward it was rendered useless.
A rush was then made to the two side
doors, both of which were nailed up,
thus compelling the people to take to
the windows, from which many sprang
into th*j street with their clothing a
sheet of fl ;me. The Fire Brigade ar
rived within half an hour, but it was
impossible to extinguish the fl imes as
the water in the tanks was frozen. The
fire lasted two hours. Eyewitnesses
state that when the doors were finally
opened a mass of burning persons were
visible within. The horses and
properties of the circus were all de
stroyed.
Another account says that 400 per
sons were suffocated, crushed or burn
ed to death in the circus at Berditscheff.
The horses, running about wildly, in
creased the confusion. The circus was
a wooden structure.
300 LIVES LOST.
The Hamburg-American Steam
er Cimbria at the Bottom of
the Sea.
LONDON, Jan. 21.—The Hamburg-
American Line steamship Cimbria WHS
sunk on Friday morniug in the Ger- ]
man Ocean, 12 miles southwest ofj
Barkum, by the British skamer Sultan, i
She sunk 15 minutes after the collision, j
Thirty-nine persons la ded at Cux- j
haven last evening. Oilier boats are \
still out. The steamers Bavaria and ;
Hansa and several tugs left immedi
ately in search of the missing boats, j
The details of the Cimbria disaster j
show that the loss of life must have
been fearful. A dispatch from Ham
burg, sent by the Hamburg-Americau
Steamship Company, says so far 5G
persons from the Cimbria have been
lauded, a number of them at the Meser
lighthouse. The name 3of these have
not yet been ascertained.
The Cimbria left Hamburg on
Thursday with 330 passengers and a
crew of 110. She ran aground before j
leaving the Kibe, but got.off with flood
tide, with the assistance of the steam
er Hansa, \\ithout damage, and she
put to sea at 2:30 in the afternoon, j
On Friday morning she came into col
lision, during a thick fog, off Barkum
with the steamer Sultan. The Cim
bria sauk in a short time. When the
boat with 39 passengers arrived the
company sent out the steamer Hansa
and four of the largest available steam
ers at Cuxhaveu to search for other
boats of the Cimbria. The West In
dian steamer Bavaria also left during
the night with a similar object. The
steamer Sultan, which suffered heavy
damage in the collision, has arrived in
the Elbe.

Terrible Accident Near Sunbury.
The coal mine ot Mr. Israel Cranmer,
located about three miles on this side
of Sunbury, in Clay twp , was the
scene of a terrible accident on Monday
afternoon of last week, by which Mr.
S. P. Graham, a son-in-law of Mr.
Cranmer, lost his life, and two other
young men—Walker Cranmer, a son
of Israel, and Richard Ekis —were
severely injured. It appears that at
the time of the accident, Mr. Graham
and Ekis were filling a blasting-cart
ridge. Mi. Grahim was sitting, and j
holding the powder can, said to have i
contained about tea pounds of powder, ]
in his lap and was pouring the pow- i
der into a tin cartridge held br Mr.
Ekis, w hen Mr. Cranmer who had a
mine lamp attached to the front of his
bat came up f;:.d stooped over the
powder can. A spark Iroru Mr. Cran- [
mer's lamp, or so:ae burning oil, must
then have dropped into the powder,
for the explosion occurred almost im
mediately, burniug and otherwise in
juring Mr. Graham so badly that he
died the next day, badly burning Mr.
Ekis and also injuring Mr. Cranmer.
Although Mr. Graham was terribly
burned about the face and neck and
probably injured internally by the
shock, he is said to have jumped up and
ruu for quite a distance after the ex
| plosion, and to have run past his own
| bouse and nearly to the house of his
! father-in-law, Mr. Cranmer.
Improved Treatment of Diph
theria.
In a communication to the Chica
go Medical Journal Dr. Magill de
scribes a method of treating diphtheria
from which he has secured better re
sults thin from any other. Ileuses an
ordinary hose, from three to five feet
long and about one inch in diameter.
One end of this is placed over the
spout of a common tea kettle, into
which has been put half a gallon of
water and half an ounce of carbolic
acid ; the kettle is then placed over a
good fire, and when the water reaches
the boiling point the free end of the
hose is carried under a blanket thrown
orer the patient's head. The room
must be closed. In a short time the
patient will perspire freely. If per
severed in at short intervals'the breath
iug becomes softer, and presently, after
a succession of quick expulsive efforts,
the patient throws off a coat or tube of
false membrane. The acid vapor
seems to prevent tbe reformation of ex
udation. Alcohol and sulphate of j
| quinine are used in connection with j
' th. 1 acid for their supporting proper- :

One Brother- ShDOls the Other.
A very distressing accident, says
the Parker I'h r.ii.r :.f January 19,
occurred on Wed teniiv afternoon of
this week, wherein one brother shoots
the other. It appears from our infor
j mation that two boys named Muili
| mer, aged eleveu ami tlrrtucu years re
spectively, were engaged iu shooting
I at a mark, when the other, either play
! fully or otherwise, placed his h< » 1 in
front of the mark just previous to his
brother's firing. The missile lodged |
in the brain of the youuger, causing I
I his death. The circumstance, whether
accidental or malicious, is certainly a
shocking affair. We are without furth
er details at this writing.
Wm. H. Midlam, Harrisburg, Pa,
says: "Brown's Iron Bitters speedily I
cured me of a nervous affection of the
stomach."
BUTLER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The followiug resolution was pass

All pupils residing in families afflict-'

Shut Down to Rest.
The large pumps belonging to the J
United Pipe Line at Bear Creek have i
been at rest, the reason not known, j
Notwithstanding that the pumps aie |
idle, a second four inch line is being
laid to Cleveland via Milliards to con
vey oil. It seems strange that two
lines be laid when one cannot be kept
busy. It has been surmised that the
United were loading up iu the region '
to be better prepared should a guage
of the tanks be taken. The capacity
of the pumps at Bear Breek station is
capable of transmiting one half the
present daily production.— Parker
